The Republic of Polleend is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 1.051 billion Polleendians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 57.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Polleendian economy, worth 119 trillion Zloties a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,252 Zloties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, and teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polleend's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Polleend is ranked 19,524^th in the world and 799^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 93 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
